This shows that range is not about range for most people, it's about availability of charging and charging speed. 100 miles is enough if you know you can stop and refill any time.

The link in your link suggests 4% is the slope of the back seats, not the front. Either way, not much to go on.

Agree except on this. No update is going to make a touchscreen behave like a knob. On the Rivian it can take me 5-10 presses to set the climate control where a simple click and knob spin would do. And on the touchscreen I have to keep looking down to see if it registered the press and exactly...

"Sir, they don't like the width." "Hell, it's a prototype. What width do they want?" "80 inches would be good, sir." "Ok, tell them it's 79.9"

2024.23.31 is a good version you should be able to enjoy for many years.

Agree with all of this. More of a Hummer EV competitor than R1. Too bad because an off-road focused R2 competitor would have been awesome. And 350 mile range on something that size will take a huge battery pack, maybe 160+ kWh, maybe more, no way will that trim be under $90k at release.

Easy enough to replicate with R1. You just need a friend, a recovery rope, and 4 banana peels.

This chart should help: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/updated-usable-battery-capacity-kwh-data-as-of-10-22-24.34905/ The key options are: * Size of the battery pack * Generation 1 (2022-2024 model years) or Generation 2 (2025 model year). Gen 2 is newer, a bit more efficient, has a...

That's an understandable perspective, but here's mine. A, OP said their commute is 180 miles, so they're targeting a range of 225 in cold weather to give a wide comfort margin, so to me, 240 would be well above that. B, several people on here have said their Blizzaks get as good efficiency than...

I'll say this though, Gen 1 R1S is a bit of a bouncy ride, and you probably need to be ok with that to daily drive one. Does not apply to R1T or Gen 2 R1S.

If your typical highway speed is 70-75, I think a Gen 1 Large Pack would be enough range. Sure, a max pack would be better, but enough. For example, this... Like you said, with 33" efficient tires on there we add 10% and get well into OP's targets. S/he could probably daily charge to 85% safely...

I agree with others that the SC distance is the main potential problem. We have 1.5 years / 12,000 miles and no SC visits on our Gen 1 Quad Large. I agree with buying used and looking for an R1S with no history of problems. I think Gen 1 Quad Large with efficient tires will be enough range. In...

How fast are you driving in this case?

Worth remembering that for the first few years, the only pack in existence was Large Pack. Their goal was to make Max Pack 180 kWh! Later they had to scale the Max back for whatever reason and it probably made sense to reduce Large at that point. We've discussed the Gen 2 range estimates a lot...

Echoing CO-rayman above, and I'm also in the Colorado front range. - I expect better efficiency from my 33" 40lb snow tires than I got from the 34" Pirelli ATs. - I thought the Pirelli ATs were totally fine in fresh snow, but I don't trust them on ice, packed snow, cold wet pavement. Expecting...

Couldn't let this pass by. Your numbers ignore the emissions and energy needed to drill the oil, refine it into gas, and transport it into the fuel tank. I don't have those numbers available, but the fair comparison is worse for ICE than you make it sound (already bad). BTW most of my Rivian's...

Do you mean front?

One thing to make sure is clear in this discussion. Rivian has two braking modes. The default is "blended braking" where the vehicle will apply the friction brakes on top of regen if needed to ensure the expected level of braking. You can turn this setting off to get the other mode, where the...

I'm glad Rivian doesn't do this (at least in Offroad mode it doesn't), since I find it really helpful for crawling to keep constant throttle and modulate the brake pressure to control speed.
